Introduction

An estimated 20 - 35% of American children ages 8 to 18 are overweight. Being overweight not only leads to psychological and social problems for the child, but can also lead to physical problems in the future such as:

· premature heart disease
· high blood pressure
· diabetes
· cancer

As overweight children are at greater risk of becoming overweight adults than lean children are, the time to control and manage your child's weight is now!
